Dave,

I have to 2-pronged approach to upgrading the systems on Mariel(hull162). Long term upgrades without budget limitations (ie a pipe dream) and a short term down & dirty functional approach (ie cheap).

Long term I want to get propane and converting the aft lazarette where an out board would go is an interesting idea(I have an inboard atomic 4). What would it take and how would it effect the weight distribution on the boat?

Thanks, Tommy
